League of Legends 2021 MSI patch 11.9 is going to feature some massive Hecarim nerf, Conqueror Jax, DWG skins, Moonstone Renewer buff, and much more.

League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational is back, and this year, Iceland is going to host the event with a new format. As VCS will not be participating in the tournament, eleven of the best teams around the world will compete against each other starting May 6th. And ahead of the MSI, Riot Games has revealed the patch on which the tournament will be played.

In patch 11.9, both Hecarim and Turbo Chemtank are getting much-needed nerfs as they were terrorizing both the pro and solo queue meta for most of season 11. Moreover, Deadman’s Plate is also getting its health reduced. After all these nerfs, Hecarim and Udyr meta might finally come to an end, and we may see some new jungle champions at the grand event.

Along with Hecarim, Riot is also nerfing two of the recently buffed off-meta jungle champions, Morgana and Diana, in patch 11.9.

While nerfing jungle, Riot is buffing shield champions Lulu and Taric, along with the recently nerfed Moonstone Renewer. Lulu is already the best enchanter in League of Legends, and with these buffs, she will definitely dominate the MSI in both the Top and bot lane.

League of Legends Gameplay Design Director Mark Yetter has previewed League of Legends 2021 MSI patch 11.9. And here’s everything you need to know about LoL patch 11.9 notes.
